I've had reports of malware on the site, if anyone has any screen caps or ideas of what the hell it is and how I can prevent it, please do let me know.

I thought she looked like the head of the English department at a high school, though perhaps that says more about the school I went to than her..

I got a warning of malware in the Admirers thread. I've e-mailed a cap to Miranda.

Re: Weird Shit

I sent a message to DCI about the user Human that I think is a spambot- stuff like the ads he/she/it has in his/her/it's signature (like the WOW Gold site) sets off malware alarms on google and such. If there's one, there may be more...

Re: Weird Shit

Yeah, dealt with it. Even though some still get through, it's with far, far less frequency compared to the Spamageddon period of 4-5 months ago.

Re: Weird Shit

The piss-annoying animated advert at the top of the page has been replaced with a block of text that reads: "[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /index.php on line 86: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/London' for 'BST/1.0/DST' instead[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /index.php on line 86: getdate() [function.getdate]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.

This is actually an improvement, but I thought you might like to know.

Re: Weird Shit

The main site is all fucked up. Unintentionally, for once.

I'm on the case. This is a server-wide problem I am sure, I think I have patched the problem on the main site but I need to do something to fix the global settings which I will need the assistance of a nerd to do.

Mr Shouty, when ever have I intentionally fucked up the site? I was under the impression we'd had quite a lovely fluffy 15 months.

There's no 'they' it's just me. I'm trying to get the problem sorted, this is not some form of self-inflicted craziness I assure you!

I was making a joke about the news stories you feature on the front page.

Yeesh.

Am I supposed to LOL?

There's some kinda problem with the main initialisation files, which (thankfully) I can't touch. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
